Police said a domestic dispute inside a car sparked a police chase because the incident was first reported as a carjacking with someone brandishing a gun. Officers said a gun was in the car, but it was never pointed at anyone.

As news of the lockdown reached parents, many drove to the school and saw the large police presence.

The whole ordeal lasted hours, but the school went back to normal after the suspect was arrested. Police arrested the driver of the car for a revoked license, and he may face additional charges from Thursday's incident.
